Anti-Computer Chess

The only in-depth treatment I recall for anti-computer chess is found in the writings of David Levy. Considering the rise of computers since then, and the fact that today's programs are much smarter, I find it odd that it is difficult to find any work on it today.

Are there any articles, books, or general coverage of anti-computer chess technique around? Have the basic tenets changed since the 80's?

Id like to hear something on this as well

Not really into computer chess however they always say try to close the position. My fave game was played by Boris Alterman

Move 26 and position is one your not likely to see again.

The best strategy for beating computers is to play as Kramnik: deep positional understanding. Even so, Deep Fritz 10 outplayed him in game 6 of their match.

BTW, for all those that insist that Rybka is the strongest engine, it is worth noting two things:

1. The Fritz programming team no longer seeks to win computer-computer competition. They do not even enter the computer championships.
2. Rybka has not shown its strength against top GMs.

Thanks for the links so far....

Here's the commentary on Alterman's Wall:

I believe that Nemeth was using a version of Fritz running on a conventional computer with no opening book and very rapid time controls to produce his wins.

Levy mentions some anti computer play in this book, written in 1990:

And here's an odd little book I found on Amazon

Finally, Wolff mentions it briefly in a chapter in Idiot's Guide to Chess:
